Incorporation of [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] (1) (where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine) in the molecular sieves of the type LTA, NaY and mesoporous Al-MCM-41 by using a “ship in a bottle synthesis” approach was investigated. [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] was successfullyincorporated in the channels ofmesoporousAl-MCM-41, and the product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, FTIR and BET analysis. It was fou...

Microporous titanosilicate Ti-MCM-68 (Ti-MSE) was successfully synthesized by post-synthetic isomorphous substitution of Ti for Al and proved to be a high-performance catalyst, in particular showing superior performance to TS-1, Ti-BEA, and Ti-MWW for phenol oxidation using H(2)O(2) as an oxidant.

A novel nanocomposite ZnFe(2)O(4)-TiO(2)/MCM-41 (ZTM) was synthesized by a sol-gel method and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), N(2) adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry. The results confirmed the incorporation of ZnFe(2)O(4)-TiO(2) nanoparticles inside the pores of th...

Composites of hydroxyapatite (HaP) and highly ordered large pore mesoporous silica molecular sieves such as, Al-SBA-15 and Al-MCM-41 (denoted as SBA-15 and MCM-41, respectively) were developed, characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR, HRTEM and NMR-MAS, and applied to fluoride retention from contaminated water. The proposed procedure by a new route to prepare the HaP/SBA-15 and HaP/MCM-41, composites g...

Manganese (?) complex with 2, 2? bipyridine, 1, 1? dioxide (bpdo) ligand was immobilized within nanoreactors of MCM-41. The immobilized complex was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption desorption, and FTIR. The pore volume, surface area and pore diameter of MCM-41 decreased after immobilization of Mn complex. Three bands observed at 1250, 1220 cm?1 and 757 cm?1 a...

ethylene polymerization was carried out using phillips chromium catalyst based on silica supports such as silicaaerogel, sio2 (grace 643), and titanium modified sio2 (g 643), and the results were compared with othercatalysts based on sio2 (aldrich), sba-15(hex), sba-15(sp) and mcm-41. a combination of tga, dsc, xrd,nitrogen adsorption, sem, icp, ftir and other analyses were used to characterize...
